(May 3, 2009) They are exposed in Court so the people making the decision--whether judge or jury--can take that fact into account when deciding whether to believe the testimony. We've all seen court dramas in which witnesses are asked, "...and did my office offer you anything in exchange for your testimony?" by the prosecution (if no deal was made) or, "Is it true that you have been offered a reduced sentence in exchange for testifying here today?" by the defense. <STRONG> </STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/45D14882-D2C1-4EEA-9C2B-1EA8783E759E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
